Huo Jincheng finished drying his hair, and Jian Yunong was almost asleep. When she heard the sound of the hairdryer stop, she instinctively opened her sleepy eyes. "Is it done? Then let's go home?"
"Go home?"
Huo Jincheng tossed her onto the big bed. Jian Yunong fell onto the soft mattress, her hazy mind gradually becoming clearer.
The man stood by the bed, slowly unbuttoning his shirt one by one. His hands were well-defined, with long fingers moving gracefully. As he continued, his strong chest gradually revealed itself to Jian Yunong, the clear lines of his muscles exuding a masculine aura.
Desire filled his dark eyes inch by inch.
Jian Yunong silently retreated. "What are you going to do?"
He looked too dangerous like this.
"Come to the hotel; what do you think we should do?"
Huo Jincheng smiled wickedly, casually tossing his shirt aside and dragging Jian Yunong by her ankle, pulling her beneath him.
"Did you eat enough for your late-night snack?" He lifted Jian Yunong's chin, forcing her to look at him.
Jian Yunong didn't know where to place her eyes, anxiously shifting around. Her timid and shy demeanor only made Huo Jincheng find her more enticing.
"I fed you well; shouldn't you feed me now? Hmm?"
He kissed her delicate earlobe, repeatedly kissing between their lips and tongues.
Jian Yunong's breath quickened involuntarily, and her small hands couldn't help but push away Huo Jincheng's further advances.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the lights on?"
Huo Jincheng understood that she was shy and reached out to turn off the light.
The air was filled with the man's gradually heavy breathing.
Images flashed before Jian Yunong's eyes, and suddenly she struggled, "No... don't touch me..."
Huo Jincheng's anger flared up. Ignoring her protests, he tore at her bathrobe. He had already satisfied her needs; did she still want to throw a tantrum?
Slap!
In the midst of their struggle, the sound of a slap echoed loudly, shattering the room's intimacy and heat.
"Jian Yunong."
Huo Jincheng's voice, devoid of any fluctuation, sounded in Jian Yunong's ears like the voice of a devil. "Are you still thinking about your ex in your heart? Hmm?"
The lights in the room turned on.
Jian Yunong lay by the bed, her face filled with fear.
Huo Jincheng sat on the bed, a clear handprint visible on his handsome face, very striking.
"I... I just..." Jian Yunong's eyes were filled with tears, on the verge of spilling over. "I'm sorry..."
She didn't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry."
"I don't want to hear your apologies. Changing places and playing tricks, you hit me? Hmm? No woman has ever slapped me before."
Huo Jincheng got out of bed, putting on the shirt he had just taken off. A storm brewed on his handsome face. "I always find it pointless to force a woman. What kind of woman do I not have? I've never met someone as ungrateful as you. Jian Yunong, are you feeling particularly wronged marrying me?"
Jian Yunong bit her lower lip, gripping the bedsheet tightly. "Yes. Marrying you is certainly very wronged."
Huo Jincheng haphazardly buttoned his shirt and then cast a cold glance at Jian Yunong. After spending so long with her tonight, washing up, and drying her hair, she was so uncooperative once they got to bed. He had only intended to kiss the fullness beneath her collarbone, thinking that in a hotel environment, Jian Yunong might feel more comfortable.
As a result... he was the one who got slapped.
Jian Yunong held back the urge to cry. "Everyone in the city knows your heart belongs to someone else; of course, it's wronged for me to marry you!"
"Jian Yunong." Huo Jincheng walked up to her. "So others don't know that your ex whom you can't forget is your brother-in-law! So you're guarding your chastity for someone who dumped you? Is it that difficult to sleep with me? Hmm? Do you think Yi Nansheng would divorce for you? Even if Le Yi no longer wants him, don't think you can rekindle old flames with him! I will never touch Bai Ru again, and you shouldn't think about having any ties with Yi Nansheng!"
Tears finally fell from Jian Yunong's eyes. "So you admit it; you're taking your anger out on me. You think I stole something that should belong to your white moonlight, and since you can't find happiness, you want to drag me down with you into this tomb of a marriage until we grow old and die together, right?"
"Yes!"
Seeing her cry made Huo Jincheng's anger flare up. He leaned down and picked her up, throwing her onto the bed. "So listen carefully; we must have children. You have no choice. If you want me not to torment you, then cooperate with me and have a child soon!"
His large hand rubbed her face, his thumb wiping away her tears with rough movements that made Jian Yunong wince in pain. But she remained silent.
This is a deadlock.
The purpose of their marriage was simply to have children.
While others marry out of love and then have children, they were the only ones who got married solely for the sake of having a child. It was completely backwards!
"Then let's do it."
Jian Yunong suddenly spoke up.
If it had been earlier, Huo Jincheng might have been interested.
Especially with her looking so willing to sacrifice herself, who would be interested in her like this?
Would doing something so intimate with him make her feel this uncomfortable?
"I won't do it!"
Huo Jincheng sneered, "You think just because you want to do it, we can? What do you take me for?"
Jian Yunong blinked her misty eyes at Huo Jincheng, stammering as she spoke, "Then don't... don't press that against me..."
She was sitting on his lap, the bathrobe thin enough for her to clearly feel his heat and shape.
Huo Jincheng refused to let her down, his face cold. "It's not something I can control; it's the beast you've awakened. You handle it yourself."
Shameless!
That thing doesn't even belong to her!
Jian Yunong shifted uneasily, feeling that it was very dangerous, but as soon as she moved slightly, she felt something even more embarrassing happen.
Huo Jincheng's breathing became heavier, his throat rolling.
"Honey..."
Jian Yunong sweet-talked, trying to please Huo Jincheng to let her down.
Huo Jincheng kissed her, sealing her moist lips, tracing her beautiful shape with the tip of his tongue.
Jian Yunong closed her eyes.
It was always going to happen... there was no escaping it...
For Huo Jincheng, it was a pleasure, but for Jian Yunong, it was a torment.
"Isn't it done yet?"
She tensed up, holding back the impulse to climb off the bed and escape from him.
"How much longer?"
"Can you hurry up and finish?"
The woman's incessant voice finally drove Huo Jincheng to the brink of collapse.
"Jian Yunong, are you torturing me in a different way, huh?" Huo Jincheng bit into the soft flesh of her neck; her lack of focus was nothing short of an insult to him!
Jian Yunong bit down hard on her hand, no longer making any sounds.
Huo Jincheng was halfway through when all sensations were ruined by Jian Yunong, leading to a hasty conclusion.
Jian Yunong immediately tried to get out of bed, but Huo Jincheng's cold voice rang out behind her, "Where are you going?"
"To take a shower." Jian Yunong dashed into the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, and Huo Jincheng's grievances seemed like they could flow into a river!
He called Xu Yizhi.
It was no surprise that the guy was still at the nightclub.
"Why do women keep asking when it will end while rolling in bed?"
"If things aren't going well or you're not good enough, it's usually one of those two," Xu Yizhi's mocking voice came through. "Haven't you asked me this before? You need to practice your skills more! Otherwise, how could your daughter-in-law have run away back then? Tsk tsk, an unsatisfactory married life can lead to problems, you know? Fifty percent of divorce cases in China are due to unsatisfactory marital relations."
"Get lost! Are you cursing me with divorce? I just got married, okay?"
"Hey, that's not what I meant. I just said that over time, things can easily go wrong..."
"It won't go wrong! She and I will not get a divorce."
Xu Yizhi's voice suddenly became serious. "Are you really not planning to be with Bai Ru anymore?"
"Isn't that what you want? Haven't you never really liked her?"
"Fine. I'll go after her. Do you mind?"
Huo Jincheng fell silent.
Xu Yizhi felt uneasy; after the words left his mouth, he couldn't help but start regretting it. Why did he say something so foolish?
"Do as you wish. You don't need to ask me about this." Huo Jincheng hung up the phone, still in a daze. Many issues that he had never noticed before began to surface at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking at the door, very impolite.
The sound was so loud it was like someone was trying to break the door down.
It was almost midnight.
Jian Yunong, who had been dawdling in the bathroom, also heard it.
She perked up her ears and faintly heard someone calling Ji Shaoli's name.
Jian Yunong quickly put on her clothes and looked outside through the peephole.
"Someone is knocking on the neighbor's door! It's a woman! And she brought a group of reporters!"
Jian Yunong was stunned and instinctively moved to open the door.
"Don't go out in your bathrobe!" Huo Jincheng immediately sat up in bed. His little wife, just after bathing, absolutely could not be seen by outsiders; only he should see her!
At that moment, Jian Yunong chose to selectively ignore him, opened the door, and walked out. Huo Jincheng quickly pulled her into his arms.
A reporter recognized Huo Jincheng's face.
"Isn't that Young Master Huo?"
The reporters surged toward them.
Huo Jincheng protected the woman in his arms, his expression displeased. "No photos!"
"Young Master Huo, there are rumors that you broke up with Bai Ru because you have someone else in mind. Is it this woman in your arms?"
"Were you at the hotel late at night for a secret meeting?"
The reporters' speculations became increasingly explicit.
Huo Jincheng coldly smiled, "My private matters do not require your reports!"
He forcefully swung the door shut, blocking the reporters outside.
"It's all your fault!" Jian Yunong complained to him, "Why do you have to be so good-looking? You were recognized at a glance! Now everyone in the world will know that we went to a hotel together! How embarrassing! And those people are clearly trying to block Ji Shaoli!"
Huo Jincheng was speechless and slid his finger down her nose. "What's wrong with being good-looking? You should take a look at how you look when the reporters catch you!"
"I'm not even wearing nothing!"
"I don't want any other man to see you in a bathrobe!"
So domineering!
"But... what about next door? Regular paparazzi wouldn't knock like this, right?"
Huo Jincheng picked Jian Yunong up into his arms. "At least you have some common sense. Finally, it wasn't a waste of time in the Public Relations Department."
